| - Well I just got back from another business trip and must say that I was even happier with my stay this time. The room was nice, the staff was excellent, and the location worked out to my advantage. And now I'm back to Gold VIP status with Hilton, it makes things even better.
As you check in, have a sip of one of their infused waters, then take a walk around the atrium to see the koi and the swans. Yes, the Elvis statue is a bit creepy, but then again, I guess it goes with the theme of the hotel.
They have both a complimentary breakfast (I only had time to grab a cup of coffee and a muffin each morning), but it smelled delicious. And the manager's reception means you can down a cocktail while munching on chips and watching some TV.
There are a lot of families and professionals that stay here, which I enjoy since I have to be here for business. I need some peace and quiet, yet can get to rowdy, stereotypical Vegas areas with a short drive or taxi ride. A taxi from the Flamingo to the hotel was $7 (not including tip).
The beds are alright, it is nice that I can shut the bedroom door to really try and block out any noise from the atrium area, if need be. Nice large TVs which actually get a few HD stations (I don't understand hotels that have HDTVs yet no HD stations.)
The service here is also great, the airport shuttle guy was very helpful, and the people at the front desk were great. Sometimes I've had issues with getting a late check out at hotels I've stayed at, but there was no problem here.
The only thing that I don't like is the fact that the elevators here are so dang slow. It can take a little while for them to get to you, which was a bit of an annoyance.
